crate training is the best, then this happens way less often.
that said, during shower time or when we're just not paying attention while home, with our two 50 lb pit mixes we've experienced chewed favorite sweater, pair of glasses, cell phone, needle and thread (thrown up later), pillow shreading, tshirts, bras, etc.

I love these folks. I see them biking around all day in all types of weather and I'm inspired by it. Well done.

I definitely know where you're coming from. I have two very cute but destroying pit bull mixes that have in the past eaten my favorite sweaters, drywall and trim, and anything plastic. Our solution: very big cages for crate training. We initially felt badly about crate training but they actually dont mind it at all and it's good for them to have a place for themselves and out of trouble while we're gone. When we're home we monitor them and put up dog gates where we don't want them.
I second the frozen kong and big bully stick/bone suggestions.
In addition, when I run the dogs a few miles each in the morning, they are MUCH less mischievious. A tired dog is a good dog.

In Philly, all we have to do is contact the Streets Department at http://bcgp.blogspot.com/2007/09/getting-bike-racks-in-front-of-your.html
See if your city's street's department has a similar hotline and explain your plight. Also, contact your local bike coalition to get a group behind the request.
good luck!
